CNN

         I've related many times in these posts how I don't....and never have....had extended cable television in the home. So I've never seen this famous Morning Joe or Mika....and have no idea who Don Lemon is other than what I hear on talk radio. I know you're probably sick of hearing this story but please let me go on just a bit....Game Of Thrones....no idea....Empire....not a clue. The only time that I ever got to see Tucker Carlson was at the hospital bedside of a friend....although I have watched him on the computer a few times recently. I think that this absence of extended cable news and entertainment channels is one of the reasons....just a small one....that I may see things a little different than most conservatives....and evangelicals. I don't have a lot of these distractions....and I tend to formulate my own opinion rather than lazily just let someone form them for me. (which is what I also recommend that everyone does in reading my posts)  This might eventually be the silver lining in the collapse of conservative talk radio as....'conservative talk radio'....before it merged with the White House Press Corps....for we might start to think for ourselves once again.
          So I get my daily news from the Internet now. Generally it has always been....Drudge....Fox....Breitbart....in that order....but Fox is more of a supermarket tabloid today. I'm not real big on podcasts. I tried ABC News.....CBS...and NBC....but I didn't like their formats at all. So....I pecked out....C...N...N...dot...com. And lo and behold there was a pretty good news piece....a special segment video I guess....where the host visualized minting a new coin....a new term at least....The Mar-a-Lago. You can Google this...."This Is How Many Trips To Mar-a-Lago Would Pay For Budget Cuts"....if you can't bring yourself to peck out C...N...N. It might be worth the effort to view this.

Notes:  MAR-A-LAGO by Laurence Leamer.

'Air-brush' version: Republicans in Congress are talking a lot about investigating the beginnings of the Mueller probe.....I'm all for that too.....first release the full transcript of that Mueller probe.....not a redacted 'cover-up' version. We are not the Stalinist Soviet Union where we 'air-brush' people out of the photos.

We were rightly outraged when Brett Kavansugh was blindsided by personal attacks....but we are laughing at personal attacks on Joe Biden?
